Welcome

I am a London-based writer and work as a journalist on a number of newspapers and magazines in the UK and the USA. I also write books.

My second book, We're British, Innit, is out now in hardback - published by Collins. It is available from all good book shops and via Amazon. The book is a hilarious lexicon about what it is that makes up the characteristics of Britain and the British and has a dedicated website where you can read my Britishness blog or take the Real Citizenship Test.

You can read more about me on these pages and also keep up to date with recent journalism or just get in touch.

My books

We're British, Innit

From alcopops to X Factor via Churchill and Ovaltine, this lexicon of Britishness is an acutely observed A-Z of all that Brits are and do.
